DORA TORUP'S DEATH.
The Coroner's 'Quest-Thc Mys
terry Still Unsolved.

y
The death Of Young girl at Crazy
and the finding of her dead babe buried
III potato patch, mention of which
was made in last weeks INTER-0cEAN,
is still shrouded in mystery. A coron-
er's inquest was held Tuesday, several
days after the bodies had been buried.
j. H. Smith, j. II, Crary and A. NJ.
Madison were the jurors. Their verdict
was that "Doa Iorup came to her
death through IN abortion from some
mechanical cause unknown to lis.
There is every evidence that II crime
haSbeen committed. Who the guilty
person is can only he >lrn,iSrL. but the
matter should not he permitted tn ic-t.
A thorough Investigation should be
made. Thcgir! was :. resident Of ';"oa-
hue county, MINI. She came to Crazy
II few months ago in company with n
woman named Wirknn,, whose ln,n,t
is near Crary. Mrs. Wlc!iun, wn> visit
ing in Goodhue county, and the g,G re-
turned with her. Soon after her arrival
she came to this city and obtaincdecnl
plOymcnt ut the Commercial hotel
While there she complalncd of being
i'll, and she procured medical treatment
A few days later she returned to Crary
and went to the Wickum residence
There she became the mother OF Il deat
child, and il is stated that the body 0
the infant was permitted to lie IN TIT
bed for two days, when the sick girl go
up herself and buried it in the potato
patch. She then went back to bet
where her suiIcrings were soon ended
by death. Her death occurred on tn
10Th or 18th of the present month
Coroner Zunich was notified, but being
away from town the inquest was no
held until the 10Th, the body of tho cir
having been buried IN the meantime.
The evidence ut tho inquest wa
sufficiently strong to warrant the jur.
in returning the verdict above quoted
Had an examination Of the remains
been made no doubt the jury, by thu
aid Of - physician, could have deter
mined whether the cause was "mcchan
icaW or whether it resulted from the cf
fects OF certain drugs administered tt
accomplish Il certain purpose. If enc
chanical," the evidence can certainly b.
found on the body; if the result Of drugs
the stomach should show it.
The way is open, and it is not yet to
late. If Dora Torup was murdered, thu
guilty person should be found. .Justic
and deccncy demand it.

road Offering some suggestions on the
water works question. MIR. Hill agrees
to pay the city $500 year for a term OF
fifteen years for the use of sufficient
water for the supply Of the railroad
shops, round house, etc. This would
amount to s22,50O in fifteen years. The

No Trace of Richards.

disappeared from Towncr on July Z, has
not been heard from. Richards was Il
sober and industrious man and had been
at work for a year and a half previous on
Powers stockranch. July 4 he drank
quite freely, the first he had taken since
he entered the employ Of Mr.. Powers.
When he left Towner on the 7th he had
two quart bottles of whisky, and the
theory is that he drank too much, and
may have fallen from his horse on the
prairie, and sustained fatal injuries.

on the people Of France that Americans

HOW THEY ISEn To no

Here are some Of the "reminiscences
Of Capt. Isaac Bassett, the venerable
assistant doorkeeper of the Senate:
an olden days candles were used in
the Senate and q sperm candle in a COM
mon brass cattdirstick stood on each
senator's desk. These and two large
brass oil lamps on either side OF the
Wee President formed the whole light
Of the chamber. | had to fill thcs.
lamps every day and we pages had to
put the candles and candlesticks on
each senator's desk. The pages had TO
go around the Senate during the even
ing and snuff the candles. For this
we used big iron snriTers. and during a
long night session we used two candles,
and in the middle Of ii we would have
to take ont the old ones and light new
ones. A night session of the Senate in
the past formed a wicrd scene. The
Pickering shadows would fall upon the
senator's face IS he spoke, and when
the light burned low, forms would be
hardly distinguished. The mellow
lamps cast a softened light over the
marble of the chamber, and made the
whole look like aghostlv Senate, pre-
sided over by a spectral Vice President.

The facetious part of the commu-
nifty must have something with which
TO amuse its playful mind. "Men are
but children of a larger growth" and
overcome their love for toys.
The chestnut bell, having passed the
meridian Of its success, finds itself
displaced by n card bearing the legend,
81 am something Of a liar myself"
The card is a great improvement on
the gong. 1t makes no noise, it always
tells the truth, and can demoralize
neither q school-room, church, or
theatre. It's widespread popularity.
however, speaks more for the frank
ness Of men than for their .veracity.
A man who will acknowledge in cold
print that he is a liar is sweetly ingenu-
Gus but far from discreet, unless he is .

ABOUT MARTHA WASHINGTON,

somebody in a late Lippincott's
Magazine is responsible for the follow
ing rather unromantic statement in
regard to the wife of Washington. We
are not prepared to vouch for the
correctness of the picture drawn.
Martha Washington, the magazinist
says. was a very pretty girl, but not a
very good looking old woman. AS she
matured she grew stout; and, though
her pictures represent her as a beauty,
the current history Of the times says
she was a plainly dressed, robust old
woman, who looked older than her
husband. She was not noted for her
social, nor for her intellectual qualities.
She could not spell, and probably did
not read a book from one end Of the
year to the other. She was 4 sort Of q
goody-goody woman, who almost
always had knitting needles in her
hands, and who thought she did a great
thing when she saved the raveilings Of
q lot Of old black stockings and worn
out chair covers and wove them into a
dress for herself. She was very proud
OF her husband; and they show the
little room in the second story Of the
home at Mount Vernon in which she
secluded herself after his death, seeing
no one for months, and allowing only a
cat to enter the room through a hole
which WAS cut under the door.

Recent statistics published in the
Pail Mall Gazette show that the num-
Der of arrests in England on the charge
Of drunkenness and disorderly conduct
has increased from 81, 1876 in 1861 to
1924 in 1884. This is more than 3d.
900 over the number justified by the
increase Of population. In the first
named year ~Si75,OO0,0OO vas spent for
liquor. In 1876 they paid S2O5 100000
more than the increased population
warranted. Only 263 petitions for
divorce were filed in 1861; in 1884, FOB
such demands were made. Against
1888 cases of suicide in 1861 are to be
placed 3,2l3 in 1884, while III the same
period the census Of ~lunatics has in
creased from 1861 to q, 165.

A PAIR OF LITTLE SHOES.
BY NATHAN z. TURNER.


As mother went to the drawer one day
For come trifing thing to use,
With the things there snugly tucked away
Was pair Of little shoes;
And pleasant smile lighted up her race
As she saw them once again;
And closely looked, but could see no trace
There revealed, Of grief or pain.
They were kept. l knew, with tender care
BY fond and faithful heart.
had known the mother when young and 1alr
And the little boy so smart,
Who had worn, in the years now long gone by,
When they were all bright and new,
With step so proud, and sparkling eye,
The shoes that were red and blue.
had seen her fondle her only boy,
With many fervent kiss;
And had heard her call him her present JOY,
And her hope OF future bl1ss.
And with tenderest love she taught his feet
To walk in the ways OF truth;
And with watchful care, as was GOOD and meet
She guarded his early youth.
She had often pray ed for her "precious boy"
That uod would his grace bestow.
To guide and protect him, lest sin destroy,
And plunge him 10 shame and woe. VAN,
And she knows that her prayer has not been IN
And her heart has heavenly peace.
And in prayer and praise she will still remain
Till her earthly life shall cease
Alb, how swiftly the years have come and gone
since those shoes were laid away,
And the little boy who had once them worn,
IL strong young man to day.
And know that no unclean word, or deed,
On his life has brought stain.
He has never taken the filthy weed,
Nor the cup that fires the brain;
And his nerves are strong. and his mind is clear,
And his heart is brave and true.
With his faith in God, and with love sincere
He will fight life's battles through
And the fond mother takes more real Joy
With her true young man to day.
Than she did when he was a little boy,
In his pretty shoes. at play.
/ pity the mothers who sadly moan -
O'er the shoes their darlings used,
Who In the paths OF sin astray have gone,
And their mothers love abused.
And | wonder how they can break the hearts.
Of the friends who love them best III
When they might such exquisite JOY impart
To their faithful loving breasts. .-1 = :. y,
